Lyrics

If you go deep down inside my eyes Do you see a savior, a prophet, or even a priest? Or do you only see the blackness there That's the nature of the beast? The ones that you should fear the most May be the ones you fear the least If you know me then you have to know The nature of the beast There are hungry devils everywhere It's on my heart they feast Let me rise above the carcass of This all too mortal beast If I had a chance I'd fly away I'd see myself released I'd fly above the carcass of This poor pathetic beast I don't know why you try to make me doubt you Don't know why when I believe my spirit soars Someday soon they'll no longer threaten you Till that day all my prayers are yours Until then all my prayers are yours The things that you desire the most May be the ones you understand the least There are bloodcurdling things you've yet to learn About the nature of the beast There's always wars and plagues and death The terrors have never ceased There's nothing you or I can do About the nature of the beast I'm not afraid, you told me that You're a fool, why can't you see? I'm not listening to a word you say It was God sent you to me I know you're trying to scare me So when you leave, I will follow Look closer and you'll see that I'm scared too Scared of staying, scared of leaving Scared of losing you I am not who you think I am You can say what you want I know who you are What's the only sound left in the world When the other sounds have ceased? It's the breathing in and the breathing out It's still, it's still in me It's still the nature of the beast There are hungry devils everywhere It's on my heart they feast Let me rise above the carcass of This pitiable beast If I had a chance I'd fly away I'd see my soul released I'd fly above the carcass of The nature of the beast There's a prayer for the lost and for the lonely There's a prayer to make the blind ones see But if you, if you are not what you must be Then it's true you haven't got a prayer for me And I, I haven't got a prayer I have nothing That's not true I have nothing Don't ever say that So many things in your life that you're bound to regret "Why didn't I do this? Why didn't I do that?" So many chances you've lost that you'll never forget So many unspoken vows, so many unopened doors So many unbroken chains, so many unsettled scores Why didn't I take it? Why didn't I make it come true? No one's ever looked at me No one's ever looked at me The way you're looking at me now Get them kids out of the way! Sweller? You in there, Sweller? Dad? Don't hurt her, mister! Let her go! I have to find him! Let me go! Swalla! Swalla! He wasn't who you thought he was. He was just a man But Dad, please That wasn't Jesus in there How do you know? Swalla, I promise I didn't tell. I wouldn't do that. Ever Thanks, Amos But he's gone. There's not a trace of him left
